Albrecht Dürer was the German artist who published theoretical writings and manuals on the technical concerns of painting.

Dürer was a painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance who reinforced by his artworks with theoretical treatises, which involve principles of mathematics, perspective, and ideal proportions. He published two theoretical books - "Four Books on Measurement" (dimension) and "Four Books on Human Proportion".
